Yes I was one of the idiots who got up super-early and was out the house by 5:30 am. I went to Target. The Target near my area had two doorways. There was a whole line of hundreds of people by the door on the right. There was also a stray crowd of people just hanging around closer to the door on the left. People from the line yelled "Get in line!" No one in the crowd listened. So Target decides to open the entrance on the left. The stray crowd runs up to the door. The people in the line get mad and start yelling and running into the store. I kind of just blended myself in with the crowd up front and walked (yes walked, I'm so proud of myself) into the store while people around me were running like crazy. By the time I got to the back of the store, people's carts were full of toys, electronics, etc. On the way, a lady almost hit me with her cart.
Then at Circuit City, there was a problem with the register and I ended up waiting in line for an hour (but hey it was worth it, for the Little Mermaid). They need to learn how to handle problems better...I don't see why it took an hour for them to figure it out, but whatever.
In the end, I walked out of the stores with 2 cheaper seasons of Gilmore Girls, a cheap The Little Mermaid, a cheap Walk the Line, and some $4 DVDs: Spiderman 2, The Notebook, March of the Penguins, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Fun With Dick and Jane.
Does anyone have any Black Friday horror stories?

). When we got in, displays already fell down, there was NO place to walk, and a lot of people pushed to the floor. When we were in the mob of people outside a stock window for the external harddrives (what we came for), we somehow met my dad there (we have no idea how he got there from the back of the long line). He got two of the hard drives and waited in line for two hours with my brother (one per person) while the rest of us went home. The ironic part is that when they got to the cashier (two hours later), they were told that the hard drives were not on sale that day but the next day. Basically, two hours for nothing.
